The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are scheduled to fly their CT-114 “Tutor” jets for the final time at the 2026 Grey Cup in Calgary, according to reports. The demonstration team will use the aircraft in a performance marking the end of the fleet’s period of service for the show.
The CT-114 demonstration fleet has been in use for decades, with sources noting the jets have been operating since 1971. Outlets describe the 2026 Grey Cup as a high-profile public moment for the team, drawing attention to the aircraft’s long service history and the likelihood that future performances will involve different equipment. While both reports focus on the same upcoming event and the same aircraft retirement timeline, they vary mainly in how they emphasize the fleet’s legacy and the significance of the Grey Cup venue in Calgary.
